Sorry for the double post, but came up with a different point.

The point of genres is to classify things that sound similar. It's not so much about elements as it is about the overall aesthetic created. For instance, purely based on the elements, you would never group Days of the New in with Pearl Jam, but the overall aesthetic created is definitely similar. Similar enough to both be in the same genre. The overall aesthetic in a band like Soundgarden or Nirvana could also fit with Pearl Jam, and so it fits into that genre as well. This is really simple, guys, I can't believe we have to take up so many pages with this garbage. Nirvana's the most overrated band of all time anyways.

@Tristan

If you're saying you would group Nirvana, with say, Dead Kennedys, or Sonic Youth, or even with Big Black, I think you should take another listen to the music and notice how dissimilar they sound.
